Can you please provide a small github repo which demonstrates the problem?

The Bnd Gradle plugin source code does not reference COMPILE_CONFIGURATION_NAME anywhere. And the provided stacktrace does not reference any Bnd Gradle plugin classes.

The referenced error message says the error is in applying the org.gradle.java plugin.

> Failed to apply plugin 'org.gradle.java'.
   > No such property: COMPILE_CONFIGURATION_NAME for class: org.gradle.api.plugins.JavaPlugin

The Bnd Gradle plugin does apply the java plugin:

        project.getPluginManager()
            .apply("java");

The Gradle java plugin used to have a "compile" configuration but it has been deprecated and replaced. So perhaps you have some strange gradle setup.

Ah yes, sorry I did not notice the reference to java plugin. I have seen similar reports of this problem for other projects updating to Gradle 7.

I was on a fork of ical4j at the time that I am trying to update to Gradle 7 so that I can target JDK 17. I've pushed a branch for you: https://github.com/SingingBush/ical4j/tree/bnd_problem and the error can be seen here: https://github.com/SingingBush/ical4j/runs/6189652960?check_suite_focus=true

Your build.gradle file had an awkward mix of the use of the plugins section and apply plugin: which probably was causing the issue. The plugin versions were also quite old. The following changes get your build working and show no issue in the Bnd Gradle plugin.
